Uma sequência perfeita. Tem os mesmos problemas que citei na minha análise do primeiro Hotline Miami, mas isso não tira o mérito dele. Tem uma história que abrange mais personagens e explica várias coisas. As fases e o jogo como um todo é bem maior que o primeiro, teve fase que eu demorei 20min pra completar mas não acho isso um defeito. Recomendo
Obs: zerei em 7h

Fez tudo que o primeiro fez só que melhor.
Mais dificil, mais filho da puta e com level design mais desafiador e divertido. Fora a trama que puta merda é muito boa.
A estética e a trilha sonora casam muito com a trama, e o jeito de contar a historia através de vários personagens e alucinações por mais que demore pra embalar quando embala NOSSA.
O fato de serem vários personagens e alguns não terem as mascaras da uma mudada sim, e consigo ver como isso afeta a jogabilidade de quem veio do primeiro de maneira negativa. Eu enxergo isso como uma troca pela narrativa envolvente e que respeita o intelecto do player.
Muito divertido, estiloso, desafiador e feito com carinho. Bão.

It seems like you either love or hate this one. Unfortunately, I think I'm leaning more towards the negative side.
I still like the music and really like the new characters and their different playstyles; I also enjoy the gameplay here on the same level as the first one, but my problem here is that this game drags on for a little bit longer than it should. I don't know, I feel like there is only so many times I can repeat the same gameplay formula before it starts getting old.
Some levels are a bit too long, or too hard...Or both! It's not impossible or anything, but with a game that pretty much asks you to do a "perfect" run on every floor in order to beat a single level...It gets tedious.
But by far, my biggest issue with this game is that...It is just a headache. I wasn't necessarily playing the first one for the story, but it certainly helped to keep me engaged with the game...But here...?
I had no fucking clue what was even going on half of the time, so much so that I had to look for a YouTube video that explained what the full story of this game was. The problem with the story in this one, is that it isn't presented in chronological order, while at the same time, you follow the perspective of multiple characters.
So because of this, it is really hard to follow the thread of things a lot of the time, because you are constantly jumping from character to character, to different time periods and locations...It is kind of a mess. It didn't help that the final level was pretty much like an acid trip; I really had fun playing that level, but man, I was just SO confused by that point lol.
Overall, I guess I would still recommend it if you liked the first one; it's just more Hotline Miami. I don't think I am going to be revisiting this one tho.

É impressionante q uma empresa fez só dois jogos e o primeiro é meu segundo favorito e o segundo é meu favorito
Pouco entendi da história, só peguei de fato o que tava acontecendo depois que meu mano Pedro me explicou no zap em 120 MENSAGENS. Dito isso, um puta jogo divertido e meio insano, pra dizer pouco, visto que é bem parecido com o 1
This game is the perfect example of "damn, if it were 2/3's as long it'd be pretty good", first bits are pretty fun and the story is interesting but by the last 3 chapters I was extremely tired of the annoying ass gimmicks and go-fuck-yourself level design.
for whatever reason i find this entry better than the first one, while both are still masterpieces, this provided me with some nice memories of the events and atmosphere of the game
Este juego quiere hacerme daño
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a step up in most ways from the first Hotline Miami.
The gameplay in Hotline Miami 2 is overwhelmingly improved from Hotline Miami 1's, and Hotline Miami 1 already had amazing gameplay. The new weapons introduced are all great, and all the new levels are the best in the series.
You get to play as way more characters, opposed to just Jacket and Biker in the first game, you probably play around 7-8 different characters, within the span of this entire game, and most of these characters are unique in how they play, that it really makes their own designated sections extremely fun.
The one issue I do have is the story, the story becomes extremely confusing and convoluted, and the first game already had a decently confusing story, this one amplifies the confusion to a new level. While I think I got what the story was, it really didn't need to be as complicated as it was.
This is an amazing game, and is an actually good sequel, that is better than the original game, which is quite rare nowadays.
Overall: 9/10

Hotline Miami 2 is a game I have a weird relationship with. I didn't even realize there was a second game in the series until mid 2023 as during a media class I had for school we were studying it as a game that was refused classification (aka banned) in Australia (my country). I beat the first hotline miami a few days ago and while I did enjoy it and was looking forward to playing the second game through some legally grey methods, I was a bit skeptical and worried that the specific scene that was one of the main reasons this game got banned in Australia in the first place was quite bad.
As far as that scene goes, it was quite graphic and definitely one of the most violent scenes in the series, I felt it probably wasn't worth the game's complete ban in the country, as the pixilated graphics and the fact it lasted about 3 seconds (and that it was taking place in a fictional movie in the game with the director saying cut just as it was about to get worse) led me to feel that the decision to ban this game was weak and definitely needs to be reappealed so people can actually legally experience this game in my country.
Despite this scene however, after getting past it, I was greeted with some of the most fun gameplay I've had in a game for a loooooooong while. The gunplay is just insane in this game and the fact I played HM1 beforehand led me to playing this game wayyy more aggresively and getting really high combo scores along with multiple A+'s only within my first hour of gameplay.
The levels, like HM1, can be a bit hit and miss, but overall the good definitely outweighs the bad, as there aren't any atrociously designed levels like the hospital one in the first game.
The story (and the nature of how it is told) is probably the part that holds this game back for me the most however. It is a game which I have to probably watch multiple youtube videos to understand exactly whats going on, as the flashbacks and flash forwards definitely make the game seem very jarring and sparatic (which I think is what they wanted to make it to be but still hurts my brain as some of the characters I still don't know where they ended up or who they are in the present time of the game)
However, I think by far this game's best aspect, along with it's gameplay, is its strong atmosphere. The 80's and 90's style was definitely a focal point in the first game, but this game just takes it up a notch. The soundtrack is iconic and hearing each track accompanied by the visuals was just a phenomenal experience. The length of this game also is just perfect as the first game definitely left a lot to be desired.
I think overall this game is better than the og. It was really fun to play and while there were definitely times I felt the game being a little bit unfair with some of the level designs, I definitely think that this is one of the best indie games out there, and a must play if you enjoyed the original.
Too bad people in my country don't have any easy way to play this game :(
